The Signing Time Classroom Edition is an excellent resource for any setting – preschool, home school, playgroups, after-school clubs, and church groups. Based on previously released material from our best-loved, award-winning Signing Time series, edited to deliver the most critical teaching segments by topic. Although the activities are geared for teaching with children who ranging from ages 3 – 9 (PreK – 3rd grade), this program is useful for all ages. The Classroom Edition can be used on its own or as a supplemental material for our Signing Time Full Collection. The Classroom Edition is packaged as a two-inch binder containing eight DVDs, two music CDs, and sixteen units of lesson material organized around a dozen or more signs and contains fun activities for sign language practice.
Each of the sixteen units of teaching material includes the following sections:
Teacher Tips: Brief articles with useful helps and hints for using sign language in the classroom.
Sign Reference Guide: A handy guide with pictures and descriptions teaching how to sign the words in each unit.
Introducing the Signs: Fun ideas for introducing the signs in each unit.
